Over Time

Understanding the dynamics of policy distribution requires an appreciation of federal grant programs that have achieved a prominent place in nearly all areas of domestic policy. The theoretical literature on distributive politics, however, focuses almost exclusively on a centralized, top-down view of policy distribution. By examining the role of presidents, legislators, and bureaucrats, scholars have ignored participants who have become key actors in the distribution of federal expenditures—the recipient jurisdictions. This analysis of the allocation patterns under six federal programs shows that local governments exert important influences on the distribution of federal grants and that the distributional patterns and their determinants vary over time. The analysis also points out the importance of disaggregation by focusing on programs and recipient jurisdictions, as opposed to total federal expenditures and regions, states, or congressional districts.

State Responses

Milbrey McLaughlin's analysis of selected state responses to the 1981 Education Consolidation and Improvement Act (ECIA) suggests that the New Federalism in education will have a number of negative consequences. She argues that although the federal programs consolidated by this legislation needed reform, ECIA creates new problems that will hamper the achievement of its goals of providing services for needy students and supporting efforts to improve educational practice. The act not only reduces funding for these purposes, but also disrupts practitioner networks, diminishes state authority and flexibility, and Balkanizes federal education policy. Lorenza Calvillo-Craig concurs with the analysis of ECIA, emphasizing that states are unlikely to continue to address the needs of the educationally disadvantaged. She takes issue, however, with the assertion that previous categorical programs generated unnecessary red tape. Richard Hodes argues that while many of the criticisms of ECIA may be valid, the act is not in fact an expression of the New Federalism. He endorses the New Federalism as a means of reasserting the Tenth Amendment, and debates the assertion that many states lack the capacity to assume the responsibility given them by ECIA.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
